  • Streaming + Download

    The goal of RPM is to record 10 songs in the month of February. This was my first entry recording all parts myself in full. Some songs are totally new a few are loose reworks. It was a lot of fun and spawned many failed followups.

Do You Mind 02:20
I never got real far I never tried too hard I never drove a car legally I never wanted to basically I never wanted to not often out past dark I never raise the bar basically I never want to and I never really need to do you mind if I'm not finding my mind a worthy subject for analysis psychoanalyze this I've been paralyzed by this sense of grief guilt tears away at me every day it stares back at me all I need's this all I need's this

Nothing But Time To Kill And Bad Habits Bad Habits

family sitting in wondering when's when I was in the bathroom with my struggle I wasn't new "I don't know what I'm doing" I wasn't new I had never been sicker so good no good I wasn't meant to discover I wasn't meant to understand I wasn't made to be your lover I was nothing but another man so good no good I never wanted to ask your hand "another bad girl won't do you good" I never wanted to learn to stand I'm not about to crawl to your truth so good no good

you give me something to take the edge off of my mind my life my mind it only hurts for a minute yeah that's just a lie you're told you don't need much yeah that's just a lie as little Debbie dabbles a little bit little Debbie dabbles as little Debbie dabbles a bit little Debbie dabbles

sometimes life's like they sprinkled on the cinnamon things seem sweet before you know they're bittering severing things you like what about me most likely is to survive hair teeth nails on a chalkboard sometimes life's like they sprinkled on the cinnamon things seem sweet before you know they're bitter and of all the things you like what about me most likely is to survive sometimes life's like they sprinkled on the cinnamon things seem sweet before you know they're bitter and severing things you like what about me most likely is to survive hair teeth nails on the chalkboard

as I wake up on all the leaves and grass I don't have a way to leave this impasse I don't care where I go I know I'll stay in today where I'll open windows and all the doors blow away I seem to see what the fuck I want to see I want to dream more dreams than I ever dreamed before I don't know where I fit somewhere between the lines I don't know where I fit I don't know all about the games that the dead play or the consoles made counselors animate the rich will rake it in I seem to see what the fuck I want to see I want to dream more dreams than I ever dreamed before I don't know where I fit somewhere between the lines I don't know where I fit

Dont Give Up 02:03
give up yourself give up yourself give up yourself that's her calling yeah you better answer it give up yourself give up on yourself give up on yourself give it up to a higher calling it's the answer give up your body give up on your body give up on your body don't love it any less like you only could

it shined on me and it's the sun rays soil this dark you'll never see the grass stains closer now lend the earth an ear hear the ocean of your own fear you're such a good listener one down three billion to go blasted sharp like gunning for an ash tray gone plant food ester of me the nitrate a loan to live the life down here short a soul to sold dried tears you're such a good listener one down three billion to go as Creve Coeur twists up into the sky Macomb flakes out I want to be a city superficial and I'm still here ... just stay the fuck out you're such a good listener one down three billion to go

she is a warlock and I'm a witch and we are pregnant with all that encompasses it's the end of the world and it's all we ever wanted she is a warlock and I'm her witch and we're together at the expense of a world we created and set out to destroy this whole planet built a world make it up created for each other we'll collapse she is a warlock and I'm a witch hers is a curse mines a hex that's the expense of the world we created built up for each other we'll destroy this whole planet build a world make it up created for each other we'll collapse this whole fucking useless planet

I have a crush on myself let me adjust myself can't even trust myself better to give myself any less than what's mine do you like those parts I have not forgot I am half all gone I have lost myself I was found by a star never got too good never get real far I have lost this time I never had this time before I have crossed the line I would never redraw it all drying off my mind and I have processed time I better impress you're fucked you never cross a crook pouring another drink I am never repaired a witness to much worse memories here I am not too pure you are not unkind crying with my light off biding borrowed time drying off my mind and I have processed time I gotta impress you're fucked you never cross a crook
